for . city Of so, 900; that by trying to
supply greater amount Of gas than the
capacity Of the works will allow, extra

will be noticed that tho Judge 10 more
I'm favor Of some perfect sewer and

this sanitary provision, and In this he
shows the feelings Of Ill citizens who
have made the health and cleanliness oil

and thought, and his great desire 10 thai
some plan may be adopted that will

poses, should receive thorough inves-
agation, and 1t 10 not his purpose, MOI
the purpose Of the City Council, 10 have
tho matter hurried through without
having 6rst received that consideration
which it, merits demand.
We say this, not that we are either II
favor or opposed to the said system

system, % we'll - every other enter
prise coming before the public, to b
properly understood, and to stand upo,
Il merits before the people. Therefor
We hope that every body will give thu

We might - we'll say right here tho
the compulsory plan Of making sttach
ments to the sewers will be the most OF
fashionable. People VINO own proper
ties that they are struggling to pay 70
will naturally resist any additional 81
pense put upon them, not that they 81
, opposed TO the system, but because how
ever small the extra expense may b
their limited means will not perm
